In the moment Xiao Yan rose to his feet, a streak of panic flashed through the eyes of the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fires that coiled within the dark purple sea of flames. A sense of unease quietly shrouded its heart. Under the anxious gaze of the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire, Xiao Yan waved his hand, causing the fire barrier around him to slowly shrink and then transform into a faint green flame that enveloped his body. With a stomp of his foot, he tread upon the fire waves and slowly advanced towards the former.
“Roar!” Upon seeing Xiao Yan make a move, the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire let out an angry roar. Its massive dragon mouth opened wide, and a huge pillar of flame shot out like a volcano. However, the power of the flame pillar was clearly far less than before. In the face of the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire’s attack, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, waving his sleeve lightly. A verdant green flame pillar spewed from his sleeve and collided with the first one. In a burst of violent collision, the dark purple flame pillar only held for an instant before breaking apart. The remaining green flame pillar struck the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire’s body, causing it to let out a sharp howl.
“You are too weak now…” Xiao Yan’s palm tightened, feeling the immense power in his every move. A sense of exhilaration surged within his heart. This vile creature had been arrogant for too long, constantly goading him and forcing him to reveal himself. But now, the situation was due to be reversed. “Base human, don’t be too arrogant!” The Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire was so enraged that even its eyes turned red. Its furious roar boomed like thunder in this space. Then, the swirling dark purple flames suddenly went into an uproar, transforming into countless smaller fire dragons that charged at Xiao Yan with a fierce roar.
*Boom, boom, boom, boom!*
The fire dragons exploded on Xiao Yan’s body, and a terrifying heat wave kept spreading out. The sea of flames almost completely engulfed the place where Xiao Yan had stood just moments ago. *Huff…* After launching such a massive attack, the already weakened Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire was panting. As it stared at the sea of flames in mid-air, without a moment to catch its breath, it saw, to its shock, a figure stepping out from the flames. Against the backdrop of the surrounding flames, it looked like the god of fire descending.
Xiao Yan stood in the middle of the sea of flames, a smile slowly spreading across his face. He raised his hand, and the dragon mark on his palm erupted with a dazzling golden light at that moment. The golden light rose up like a scorching sun within this soul space. Under its brilliance, the surging dark purple flames seemed to be pulled by an unstoppable force, all rushing towards the dragon mark. In the blink of an eye, the sea of flames vanished into the dragon mark. At the same time, Xiao Yan’s entire arm began to seep with a dark purple flame.
As the sea of flames dissipated, only the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire and Xiao Yan remained in this soul space. But by now, the former’s eyes were filled with complete and utter fear. Its massive body was constantly retreating. “You lost…” Looking at the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire, which was panicking and retreating, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. The golden light in the palm of his hand grew more intense. With a few roars, he caught up with the former and wrapped it around. Amidst its roaring and struggling, he swiftly pulled it back into the dragon mark.
As it got closer to the dragon mark, the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire’s massive body rapidly shrank. In the end, it transformed into a dark purple flame ray, sucked by the golden light into the dragon mark in Xiao Yan’s palm. Seeing the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire disappear into his palm, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was a test of will. It shouldn’t have retreated, no matter how much the power was uneven, retreat was not an option…
“Break!” Raising his head and looking around the soul space, Xiao Yan said blandly. As the words fell, the surrounding space began to vibrate violently, and then with a crack, it shattered into countless tiny fragments, exploding…
In the moment the soul space exploded, the starry domain, suffused with dark purple flames, also saw Xiao Yan gradually open his eyes while sitting cross-legged. His black eyes opened, and a streak of verdant green and dark purple flame flashed through them, making him look particularly strange.
With his eyes open, the first thing Xiao Yan did was to look at the small dark purple dragon across from him. By now, its pupils had completely lost their luster, appearing somewhat dull. Seeing this, Xiao Yan sighed softly. In this struggle, it was a matter of life and death; there was no third way. He could still sigh with a bit of regret now, but if the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire had won, it would have arrogantly burned his body to ashes, showing no other emotion. The fight for survival was inherently cruel, with no right or wrong, only victory or defeat. Standing up, Xiao Yan slowly walked over to the small flame dragon. He placed his palm on its forehead, and a suction force gushed out. The latter transformed into a deep dark purple flame, floating up slowly. Looking at the dark purple flame, Xiao Yan sighed gently. This was the primordial flame of the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire he had yearned for. For it, he had journeyed thousands of miles from the Black-Corner Region to the Central Plains, enduring countless hardships. Now, he had finally achieved his goal. “Don’t worry, following me, you won’t bring shame to your name on the list of unusual flames…” Xiao Yan murmured softly, then opened his mouth and swallowed the dark purple flame. Once the primordial flame entered his body, a burning sensation spread from within. Xiao Yan quickly sat cross-legged, with the verdant green and dark purple flames continuously erupting from his pores. Having successfully obtained the primordial flame of the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire, what Xiao Yan needed to do now was to refine it completely, combine it with the Heavenly Lotus Heart Flame, and catalyze the Burning Decision to evolve again. Although the dragon mark ensured that Xiao Yan almost controlled the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire, its rank on the list of unusual flames was quite high. Countless years of coalescing had given it a stubborn pride. Refining it would surely take a considerable amount of time. When Xiao Yan refined the Fallen Heart Flame, he had spent nearly three years underground. This time, it might not take as long, but it certainly wouldn’t be resolved in a day or two. As Xiao Yan sat with his eyes closed, the verdant green flame shield around him gradually faded until it disappeared. The dark purple sea of flames in the surroundings surged forward, but as they approached within a few meters of Xiao Yan, they immediately split and circled around him obediently, as if paying homage. The flames avoided the sea of flames, but the Heavenly Demon Puppet beside him, no longer protected by the flame shield, began to emit a faint golden glow. Although it was within a few meters of Xiao Yan, the temperature in the starry domain was terrifyingly high, like a steamer. Xiao Yan could resist it, but it couldn’t. Therefore, drops of golden liquid began to drip from its body. However, as the golden liquid trickled down, its dazzling golden color subtly turned into a faint dark gold, appearing deeper and more mysterious. It seemed that the tremendous thunderbolt energy absorbed by the Heavenly Demon Puppet was being naturally tempered by the high temperature in this natural stellar furnace. Though Xiao Yan knew that refining the Three Thousand Flame Fiery Fire would take time, he didn’t expect to be in this state for half a year. During this half-year, the starry domain remained silent as a dead zone, but outside, arguments raged. On the third day after the starry domain sealed, Little Healer Immortal insisted on having the three great eminences reopen the starry domain to rescue people. The three eminences, unable to refuse, and with the assistance of Black Cloak, reluctantly opened the starry domain. But when the spatial gate opened, a terrifying sea of flames surged out like ancient beasts. If not for the preparation of the three eminences, it might have caused significant disaster. Despite this, the Little Healer Immortal, though worried, couldn’t ask the three eminences again. Fortunately, she had Zi Yan’s senses to rely on, otherwise, she would have found the wait unbearable. About a month after that, the three great eminences opened the starry domain again. This time, Profound Voidzi entered alone, but he returned in a wretched state after only five minutes. Due to the sealing, the temperature inside became increasingly terrifying. Even with his strength, he could only penetrate about a thousand meters before being forced to retreat. Seeing Profound Voidzi’s wretched appearance, everyone’s hearts sank. If even he couldn’t stay for long, how about Xiao Yan? But just as everyone thought the worst, the Little Healer Immortal and the others still clung to the last hope—the dragon mark in Zi Yan’s hand. Now, their only hope lay in the dragon mark. If the dragon mark were to disappear, she might collapse. As time passed, fewer and fewer people held hope for Xiao Yan’s survival. Even Profound Voidzi and the others sighed privately. Who could have imagined that a champion of the Pill Gathering would meet such a fate? Amid the sighs of countless people, the starry domain, which was as silent as a dead zone, rippled with the slightest sign of movement for the first time…
